Anyone seen actual odds on Bobby Witt?
-
Hopefully they don't make you have the finest Babe Ruth card for collections
-
I'm not as concerned with Witt it would be a bad look even so but what I am the most concerned with is Finest Ruth and Prime Rollins. If you need either one of those it would put the final collection out of reach for 99% ( I know that's a percentage I pulled out of my @ss but it can't be far off)of the plater base. At least the Witt there is a way to obtain him through packs.

450K people have Pavin Smith (the last Topps Now card that is earned by 5k experience with any player)
there are less than 3K Rollins in circulation

Witt, Rollins, Babe - they will not require these cards for collections. People think SDS is some sort of monster. They’ve been very nice about the collections - letting you skip quite a few cards.
The rare cards with only a few thousand in circulation, they would never require them to gatekeep a big collection.

Collections are significantly less 'nice' than they were in 2023 and 2024, but I do agree that I doubt they require these cards. For now.

For now.
Every new collection I hold my breath that SDS continues to play nice. The way things are going we are always one collection away from not being nice.

I don't think they are monsters but I think they are looking for new ways to increase revenue and unfortunately that crosses into being anti consumer.
As long as those ultra rare cards stay as novelty items and that's it I'm fine with it.
I would never purchase any card for a million stubs. You would automatically lose stubs especially if the card isn't needed for a collection or if the card isn't as good as one thought it was going to be. Can't sell it, one would take a 100k stub hit.

Bids are finally under 1M stubs (just) haha.

That’s crazy. It’s like a chase card with worse odds. Strange experiment this time of year.This is a test run. The more money people spend, the more we'll see this.
The SDS2K era is about to begin. Get your wallet ready.
I'm just hoping GTA can keep me entertained through MLB launch next year. Will be much easier to punt MLB if that is the case.

I get the idea behind Witt - its to make Show packs feel useful. To give some excitement in opening them (which there hasn't been for months).
But, it doesnt generate much excitement at all when the chance is this low - there need to be useful rewards with reasonable drop rates that you can get from packs. They dont have to be mega 1M stub rewards, just useful.
